How He Got Rid Of an OfiIce-SssksT,

Attorney General Cassidy at one
time vas annoyed very much by
people soliciting his influence in
securing favors at the State Capt.
toll. His patience was tried beyond
further endurance one morning,
and he resolved to resort to a piece
of strategy that would probably
suppress the people who troubled
him. A man soon afterward en-.
tered his Office, and, introducing
himself, said;
"Mr. Cassidy, believe that If |
can secure the favor Of your in
fluence-"
"What favorp interrupted Mr..
Cassidy, staring at the man.
"There is a vacancy at the Capt.
toll"
"What Capitol :" Mr.. Cassidy
again interrupted.
"why," calculated the ian,
catching his breath, "the State
Capitol"
"What statei"
By this time the callers eyes
were beginning to bulge out upon
his cheeks, and his establishment
was increased by the wild stare Of
Mr.. Cassidy.
"You misapprehend mel guess
be began, and he shifted his chair
closer.
"What guess"
Wguess YOU are crazy" said the
man warming up, "and I'll not
trouble you. Good morning.
"What morning {" whispered Mr..
as if his energies were
completely exhausted.
"You 60 to the ID, will you? 1
guess you haven't got any influ-
ence, anyhow"

But the man slammed the door
after him and didn't hear the roar
Of laughter that followed his de.

she drew from her pocket letter

long ago, and | hope you'll forgive

She was gone then.
Bewildered, Daisy read the long

him.
Tears and prayers of gratitude
mingled as the happy girl read.

Breathlessly she hurried down

Percy Trent.

CURING A STINGY BOY.

Jimmy was the stingiest little
boy you ever knew. He couldn't
bear to give away a cent, not a
bite of an apple, not a crumb OF
candy.
lie couldn't ever bear to lend his
sled, or his knife, or his hoop OF
skates.
All of his friends were very sor-
ry he was so stingy, and talked to
him a great deal about it. But he
couldn't see any reason why he
should give away what he wanted
himself.
"If l didn't want it," he would
say, "p'r'aps l would give it away ;
but why should | give it away
when l want it myself?'
"Because it is nice to be gener-
Ous,' said his mother, sand to think
about the happiness Of other peO-
pie. 1t makes you feel better and
happier yourself. If you give
your sled to little ragged Johnny,
who never had one in his life, you
will feel a thousand times better,
watching his enjoyment of 1t than
if you had kept it YOURSELF
"Well," said Jimmy, 'I'll try it,"
The sled was sent of, while Jimmy
looked on as if he we're taking a
dose of rhubarb. "How soon will
l feel betteri' he asked by and by.
al don't feel as we'll as | did when
l had the sled. Are you sure l
shall feel better?"
"Certainly," answered his moth.
er, "but il you should keep on CIV
ing something away, you would
feel better all the sooner
Then he gave away a silver piece
that he had meant to spend for
taffy. Then he said, 81 don't like
this giving away things it doesn't
agree with me. | don't feel any
better. | like being stlngy, best"
Just then ragged Johnny came up
the street dragging his sled, look
ing as proud as a prince, and ask
ing all the boys to take a slide
with him. Jimmy began to smile
as he watched him, and said, "YOu
might give Johnny my old Overcoat ;
be is hitler than | am, and he
doesn't seem to have one. l think
Il guess-I know Pm beginning
to feel ever 80 much better. Pm
glad l gave Johnny the sled. III
give away something else"
And Jimmy has been feeling bet
ter and better since that hour

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
PREVENTING SWINE PLAGUE,

| DIR. Detmers of the OHIO Uni
versity, gentleman well known
from his Investigations with the
microscope, and especially in swine
fever, in late address upon this
subject, held, and correctly, that
once hogs are attacked but little
can be done to save them. Only
at the beginning, or before exten-
sive morbid changes are produced,
is it feasible to treat them. If the
infection has taken place through
the digestive canal 1t may be
worth while to try an emetic of
powdered white hellebore. From
two TO fifteen grams, according to
the age and size of the hog, would
be about the dose. 1t may be
given in a boiled potato, or on the
surface of a little milk. If neither
the one nor the other is voluntarily
taken, the hog is far gone and may
be given up as bad case. If one
dose should not cause the animal
to vomit, in sag twenty minutes,
another one may be given in about
half an hour. This treatment may
be followed by a few doses of
calomel, also to be given with
boiled potato. OF other medicines
tried, he says:
81 have had the best success
with carbolic acid, and have OBJ
tanned good results-that is,
prevention of a plain outbreak of
the disease-by giving once a day
from eight to ten drops Of a 90 per
cent. solution of carbolic acid for
every 100 pounds OF live weight IN
the water for drinking. Iodine in
a watery solution-ten grams Of
iodine and twelve grains of iodide
of potassium to one ounce of
water-and that given in small
doses, has also proved to be very
effective, but the damage done to
the pig by this iodine treatment
becomes very soon apparent. Hy-
pophosphate of soda has also been
tried, and has given favorable re-
suits. 1t may be given in doses
sufficiently large to loosen the
bowels, and be dissolved in the
water for drinking.
"The most obvious physiological
effect Of carbOlic acid upon a hog
is a reduction Of the temperature.
Whether it is this or some other
property that retards or interferes
with the propagation Of the swine
plague germs | am not prepared to
decide, and to discuss theories
would lead too far and be of little
use. 1t may therefore suffice to
state that the results of such
treatment have, on the whole, been
favorable. If, however, the organ
ism is already pervaded by the
diseaso.germs, or if important NOR
bid changes are existing, nothing
whatever can be expected of the
carbolic acid treatment, because
the propagation has already taken
place, and the acid, most assuredly,
cannot repair the existing morbid
changes. NeithF- IAN any other
medicine. For 1fecting pur-
poses We have, however, cheaper |
substances than carbolic acid; for |
instance, chloride of lime and a
one per mile solution of corrosive !
sublimate.'
DR.. Salmon, Chief of the Animal |
Bureau OF the United States, says |
that for disinfecting, corrosive
sublimate, one to $4,000 parts, will
kill the bacteria OF swine-plague.-
The solution not used for drinking
should be freely sprinkled over the
lot, yard, or pens in which the
swine are kept. Sulphuric acid,
one to 1000 parts, Is also recon-

The Minneapolis Commercial pub
fishes an account Of a cutting affray
which occurred at that place last
Saturday night. The c. B. ROtrOek,
who did the cutting, is an old news
paper publisher Of Minneapolis, and
brother OF NJ. w. ROtrOck, formerly
OF Salina. The following Is the
Commercials account:
Ii now comes 10 light that 8, yeTal
Of our tOwnsmen have been ill., the
habit for some time past Of meeting
in secluded places and drinking beer
till late hour I'm the night. On last
Saturday night about 10 or II o'clock
Il seems q quarrel was sprung be-
tween Sweet and ROtrOck at one of
the resorts about business affairs
during which ROtrOck drew his knife,
containing q blade about four inches
long, and plunged il into Sweets left
side inflicting a wound that may
prove fatal. ROtrOck was arrested
by Deputy Marshal Sink and inear-
cerated in the county Jail to await
further proceedings.
Monday morning ROtrOck was
brought before Judge Richards, who
set the case over to Thursday to-
morrow, under a bond OF 5000,
which RotrOek failed to give and
was remanded back to Jail. This is
a deplOrable affair, and we have no
doubt would not have happened had
ROtrOck not been under the influ-
ence OF Intoxicating liquors, and we
hope il may be warning to Others
to touch not, taste not the aceursetl
pOisOns which causes men to CON-
init deeds Of violence they would
not do I'm their sober moments.

Word has just come to US from a
reliable source that there is whis-
per of foul play having been indulg-
ed in by some one, and the matter
promises to be investigated i'm the
near future. and II possible learn the
whereabouts Of a former citizen Of
this county A year ago on the 18th
Of August, old man Peterson, a
Swede, who had lived for years on
his farm two and one half miles
southeast from Chico, disappeared,
and not a word has ever been re-
eeived from him, although the old
man took nothing with him, nor did
he make any preparations for jour
ney. He was a respected old man,
the only fault against him being that
he would drink once in a great
while. Il is said that his wife and
him were constantly quarreling, and
that she made life very disagreeable
to the old man. The family are still
living on the farm, and IL is thought
by some Of their neighhOrs that he
never left the place at all, but was
put out of the way. We know moth
ing whatever about the affair, but
simply give the facts As they were
given to US. The matter at least de-
serves investigation.

Monday Of last week Frank Smith,
OF Gypsum Greek. q man twenty-five
years Of age, In a nc Of anger hit 3
sixteen year old boy by the name Of
Rininger, who was working for him,
from the effects Of which the boy
died. The Mcpherson Republican,
gives the following account Of the
affair:
IL seems that a young man by the
name Of Rininger, the son Of q wi
dow woman, was working for Frank
Smith. Rininger was running q
moving machine and broke u down,
and while waiting for it To be re-
paired Smith told him that he could
have a vacation Of two OF three days.
The Young man came hack TO see
Smith ard told him that he did not
wish TO work for him longer and de-
sired = settlement. Smith accused
him Of breaking the machine pur-
pOsely. Hard words followed and
Smith struck the boy, who was at
the time sitting on q horse, a severe
blow hitting him under the eye.
The blow gas given with his fist.
This occurred early in the forenoon.
The boy then went home and with
his brother went to ROxbury for
medical attendance. He returned
home with his brother, returned to
ROxbury in the afternoon for the
purpose Of swearing out q warrant
against Smith for assault and bat
terry. While waiting for his brother
tn HnN Ia ~ hnE
died suddenly. The cause Of his
death was the rupture Of q blood YES
sci at the base Of the brain.
Frank Smith, spoken OF above is
the brOther-in-law Of Jesse Frost Of
this city. Smith and Rininger got
into a quarrel over a pair Of double
trees, and Renfnger called Smith a
liar, when refusing to retraet the
strong assertion. Smith slapped him
on the side Of the face, causing his
nose TO bleed for a couple OF minutes.
Then Rininger gallOped over the
prairie most OF the day, on his horse.
Later I'm his headlOng speed he
burEted a blood vessel at the base Of
his brain, and his brother being UNI
able to stop the bleeding he stan ted
with him i'm his lumber wagon for
ROxbury, a distance Of four miles, at
full tilt. When Rininger arrived he
had almost bled to death. Mr.. Frost
says Rininger had no father or moth
or aud that the ahove version IL
the correct one.

DIR. Collins has traded his trt tting
horse Henry o. for a fine young bay
three year old stallion, the property
Of Mr.. Craig, of Lincoln Center. The
doctor never saw the horse he traded
for until he arrived yesterday even
ing, but had heard Of him, and told
his man that II the horse was bred
as represented, he would make an
even trade. The stallion is a hand
some animal, and was sired by
Robert McGregOr, his dam being
Evandu by Rysdik's Hambletonian.
He is considered one Of the best bred
horses in the state, and will be a
valuable addition to Saline eOunty's
fine horses. On the other hand, we
are sorry to see Henry o. leave here,
and will say TO his new owner, that
II he succeeds in getting Henry o. TO
submit to the proper training he will
have a horse that will be known all
over the country, as he possesses
wonderful speed, the only difficulty
heretofore being the lack Of training.
